How is the Oleksiak situation? We should be able to re-sign him with the space we got, no?
Easily. We have 2.8m in cap space, and odds are he won't cost more than 1.5-2m on a 1 yr deal.

I imagine he’ll go back to being a RW again. Could end up bad at that cap but eith Seattle and likely a lockout there are some fall backs
Certainly a change of pace...Dallas/Pittsburgh/Nashville/Vegas..... Calgary. Not crapping on Calgary, but come on. 4 amazing cities.
Hope we add Duclair.
Cullen-Sheahan-Duclair although I wont be mad if we do a Cullen-Sheahan-Rust 4th line.
Really so very curious to see what the line combos look like at opening night. There's a chance GMJR is not done yet, but if it sits how it is right now you have to wonder what is done with Simon, Sprong, ZAR, and Rust for that matter. Rust hasn't been stellar w/ Sid, but not moving Horny or Kessel up, I'm not sure you have much choice. I just can't see paying him 3.5 to play the 4th line.
The other part of that is, are we really paying someone 3.5 Mil to play a 4th line role? Seems like an awful lot...Duclair is just a tougher Sheary..very bad defensively. I really don't see anymore room for a wingers unless it's a bonafide LW.

For sure on training camp. It sounds like he won't do anything else for a month or so, but really who knows with JR. He could get some bad PF Changs one day and trade someone....Will keep training camp interesting at least. Genuine competition for places.
As for Rutherford and the Saga of the Left Wing... we'll see if it can be done. I kinda hope he can't do it right away, as there's not a lot to talk about this Summer if he does it quickly
Sorry, I should have qualified I was talking about his reference to Rust.Who is giving Duclair that money? He's pretty Damn close to being a waiver wire player.
Well, Rust there would be better but we will see. Cullen and Sheahan would be fine with the D work anyway if we got Duclair.Duclair is just a tougher Sheary..very bad defensively. I really don't see anymore room for a wingers unless it's a bonafide LW.

Question for you Peat, who is the 3rd line LW? Would you move Brass over and Sheahan center? Simon? If JR does nothing else not sure who they slot here. Maybe try and slot Sprong there?
I personally like your lineup, but are we really paying 3.5 to Rust to play the 4th line? Just seems like a lot to me for a 4th liner/PK guy. I guess he can move around on line assignment, so there's that...With the roster as it currently is I would go
Jake Sid Sprong/Hornqvist
Hags Malkin Hornqvist/Sprong
ZAR Brassard Kessel
Cullen Sheahan Rust
Is this how our lineups look like right now?
Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
X- Malkin-Horny/Kessel
Hag-Brass-Horny/Kessel
Cullen-Sheahan-ZAR/Simon/Hayes
Did I forget anyone?
Geno's LW remains a question. No, Hag with his finishing ability isn't a top six player.
The defense looks putrid, so I don't want to post it.
Has JR gotten a half decent backup goalie?
